2010 OVC Softball Tournament Is set

The 2010 OVC Softball Tournament is locked in and ready to roll but there is one problem... For only the third time this decade Lana Richmond's SEMO Redhawks did not qualify. They failed to make the tournament field in '07, '08 and 2010.

SEMO last won a OVC Tournament Title in 1999 advancing to Tuscon, AZ to play in the NCAA Tournament. The Redhawks finished with a record of 2-1.
